sometimes

i feel so weird.
my mind views the world differently i've discovered...
as i try to explain what i see everyday
and the faces stare blankly.

if i let you see my soul,
would you smile or laugh or cry?
would you paint a picture of the dove or of its sky?
if i let you hear my heartbeat,
could you sing it back to me?
follow it blindly to the woods where eyes can't see?

if only i could speak in metaphors
be understood to understand
take the shape of my favorite oak tree
free to sit and listen in
no need to talk, no need to explain
no need to decipher between love and pain
give me a breeze, a sky and light
i'm alright....

i'm alright : )
